IArsenal are doing something different this season. After their 2nd place finish in the previous Premier League campaign, Mikel Arteta has added new players to his side - resulting in a shift in the backline and how his pivot players operate.
Just how is that having an affect on Arsenal’s output, and will it bring them even more success this season?

It's been annoying as an Arsenal fan to see people among our own support adopting opposition narratives about Havertz. He's been here literally two games and has been fine; not giving the ball away stupidly, pressing intensely, and generally fitting in. He would've had a great assist against Palace if Martinelli had've gotten his shot off more quickly.
The end of this video makes it even more devastating that Timber is out for the season. He was clearly a big component of this approach and we haven’t looked anywhere near as fluid without him.
I know Tifo is known for this stuff but this is honestly one of the best ones, been trying to understand what my man Arteta is up too, this helped immensely
If we were all to be honest Mikel Arteta has done a fantastic job at Arsenal. If you consider the squad he inherited and how he has been able to switch things up and make them a proper title contender. Last season hadn't it been for crucial players getting injured and lack of focus from the players they'd have won the pl
Thanks to this video, I have a better understanding of how we have changed and what we are trying to do. It seems to me that we are trying different ways to bypass pressure and defensive blocks.
A lot could change here once Zinchenko is back in the team. I think Arteta is looking at another way to play for sure, but I have a feeling we'll go back to more regular shape of 433 and more familiar build up structure, with Rice in left 8 at times. Also, with Jesus out, that's another significant piece of the puzzle missing. He's also back this weekend. Great piece, though, bravo Tifo!
I just want to see more players get a chance, want to see more Smith-Rowe, Fabio Viera, Trossard and Nelson in the team.
I think it's a very harsh to say that Rice can't receive the ball with his back to goal, I think he's done that well enough in both games and was MotM against Palace. It's clear that Arteta is looking to avoid the opposition press and Rice's positioning is tactical, rather than due to some imagined limitation.
The other new function Arteta introduced recently is when on attack they want to flood the box with 5 players. This is where he uses Havertz to generate space as false 10, before if you shut down Odegaard, ball in to the box becomes predictable. Last season the only other non wing penetration was Xhaka arriving late. Now having Saka and Martinelli pulling wide low block defense gets stretched and 3 players in the box have more options to generate small quick moments. If watched ManU’s last game they are predictable and easy to shutdown by closing Bruno. This tactics is very raw but let’s see how it develops.
I feel like another reason why we haven't been building up through the middle as we usually do is because of Nketiah. He's profile doesn't allow for that. When the comparisons btn the Fulham game last season and the recent Palace game are made, Trossard was a key difference. He always provided an option deeper and knitted everything together nicely
One of the best tactical videos recently! Loved watching the analysis!
From mid table irrelevance to title contention. The team Arteta inherited; "GO SEE WHERE THEY PLAY, HOW THEY PLAY, IF THEY PLAY"
i am wondering if part of the reason for this change is also because jesus is currently out too? last season, when he was working, he was amazing at build up play, dropping deep and helping shuttle the ball forward with his pace and being able to lose his marker (think his run from bournemouth away last year), hence helping create that space in the centre.
Superb - I was going to talk about the angles Rice recieves at which is similar to Saka wide on the angle but hadn’t really thought about the block - more so first pass to get us going. I wonder what we look like with Jesus as cf - Eddie doesn’t show enough for central progression. He waits like a cf for the ball to be closer -great stuff John 👏🏾👏🏾
Great video and gives a wonderful insight into what Arsenal are trying to do this season. Great work! 👍🏿
I really like what I've seen from Havertz so far. A very intelligent footballer.
Love when terms are defined !!
I'm looking forward to when John starts using terms like 'Midfield Zugzwang', 'Half Space Zwischenzug' and 'Castling Centre Backs'.
Very good explanation of how we set up but I still think we should be playing players in their right position
Very interesting analysis, thx for the vid. I'd be curious to know if that's how the manager (eg, Arteta in this case) plans it, or whether the approach is less detailed, looser and let the players adapt to the individual events as they happen.
